INFJ

Over at The Mental Militia Forums, there’s been a resurgence of discussion about the Meyer-Briggs temperament types. For s & g, I decided to take the online assessment, and I am an INFJ.
I didn’t put much weight into the test until I read the personality profile for an INFJ. Holy schmoly! The profile blew [...]

Rambling some more

I’m not quite sure why R-Squared’s news has been laying so heavy with me today. I knew it was coming; I knew her mother’s condition was on a downward turn.
I’m full of whys. Why does this family have to go through this too? They’ve endured so much over the years, coming through [...]

And the greatest of those is love

“Over the years she changed in my eyes only from being the best mom in the world to one of the most amazing women I had ever met.”
My friend R-Squared wrote again this evening, giving an update about her mom’s health. She’s dying. She shared the above quote, saying this best describes the [...]

Kitchen Paint photos

Our kitchen isn’t quite put together yet, and we don’t have the trim up, but these photos give you a glimpse of our work in [...]

I forgot the best part

I’d blogged earlier in the month about a Claire Wolfe BWH article on saving. I took her advice and started two coin jars— one for quarters and dimes, the other for nickels and pennies. Also, I created two envelopes to kick off my envelope system: College and Fun. The College envelope is [...]

Superbad revisited

**Spoiler Alert**
I’ve been mulling over Superbad, and I think the element I liked the best in the movie was the angst of the two police officers; the element that they knew, deep down, that most police officers are brutal totalitarians at heart. It gave them an ounce of humanity that they wanted to show [...]

Date Night

Well, Superbad kind of lives up to its name. Lew and I decided to go to the local discount theatre that shows second run movies.  We had a good laugh, but we were sure glad we only paid $2 to see it.
The cops didn’t even say, “McLovin sounds like a sexy hamburger.”

We are the champions

I’ve been a major player in the culinary Olympic events of the morning.
The games opened in prayer (Please don’t let the coffee pot clog up this morning, like it did yesterday, and flow coffee water, plus icky grounds, all over the counter, into the dish towel drawer and onto the floor. Amen.) The participants paraded [...]

Hand me a drumstick

It’s almost Thanksgiving! I could count for days the people and things I’m thankful for. It’ll be quicker to check out a couple of unique and thought-provoking sentiments regarding our most epicurean of holidays. Thank you Michele and Genni for some brain food, although Charlie Brown’s Christmas now will never be the [...]

In a word…

I’m too tired to pen anything witty or thought provoking. I’d like to share, however, a few words that I think are neat.

shenanigans
plethora
succulent
vivacious
fortitude

Tee and I often rate words on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the best. The words above are a solid 8, a few might be note-worthy 9s.
Are there [...]
